Specialist family photographer in Esher — Amy Cooke creates relaxed, candid family and children photography. Warm, documentary-led sessions that let your family be themselves.
Amy Cooke Photo and Film is a specialist family photography service based in the Esher area, led by Amy — a mum and photographer who loves capturing real family life. Amy’s work is rooted in a relaxed, documentary approach: she looks for the unposed, joyful, small moments that tell your family’s story rather than forcing stiff, overly directed shots. That means more laughter, honest connection and images you’ll come back to again and again. Why choose Amy? Her background in casting and film production gives her an intuitive way of seeing people—how to put someone at ease, find flattering light and frame moments so they feel authentic. As a parent herself, Amy understands the rhythms of family life and how to run a photoshoot around naps, toddlers’ energy and the little things that make your family unique. Clients often comment on her calm, friendly manner and how quickly children forget the camera is there. How she works: Amy starts by getting to know you — a pre-shoot chat to discuss favourite locations, outfit ideas and any must-have shots. On the day she creates a relaxed atmosphere so kids can play, explore and be themselves while she captures those spontaneous interactions. Whether you prefer the comfort of your home, a local park or a special family spot, Amy adapts her pace and approach to suit you. What to expect from the images: warm, natural colour and candid moments that feel timeless. Amy specialises in family and children photography and also captures newborn and maternity sessions as part of her family offering. Galleries are presented in a private online space so you can easily view, download and share your favourites. Local, approachable and experienced, Amy Cooke Photo and Film is dedicated to creating family portraits that feel like you — honest, joyful and made to be treasured. If you’re in Esher, Surrey or nearby and want a relaxed family photoshoot that truly reflects your family, get in touch to start the conversation.
